For determining the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) of a wide range of thermoplastic raw materials (granulate) by extruding it in a molten state through a calibrated die using a reference weight.
The Melt Flow Indexer – MFI model SNR is a rigid constructed table apparatus using the latest touch screen controller technology with a very intuitive software. It has audible prompts at the correct time and results calculated and displayed at the end of the test. With the displacement transducer MVR testing can be performed. Supplied with fully equipped weight kit up to 21,6 kg and full accessory kits. LCD screen with simple set-up of test and operation.
